The proposition is predominantly aimed at small to medium-sized agents who do not provide an in-house mortgage advice offering to clients or are not happy with their current outsourced arrangements.
By linking with Email Mortgages the estate agency can ensure their clients have access to appropriate, whole of market mortgage advice, while at the same time opening up a new income stream. Agents are continually kept in the loop with regards to the client’s mortgage arrangements ensuring that the house purchase can continue smoothly.

Once the introduction is made the clients are taken through the entire mortgage advice process online via email by one of Email Mortgages’ advisers. Clients gain access to professional, regulated mortgage advice with all the protections this brings plus they can be sure they have access to all the available deals in the marketplace.
